After an eight-month long refresh, Test Track is open again to Walt Disney World Resort visitors at Epcot. What’s new and different? While the ride track is the same, the re-imagined version of Test Track is pretty much an entirely new experience from beginning to end. Take a look at our four favorite updates.

The Queue

While Disney’s well-themed lines have always been entertaining, they’ve really added much more fun to the actual waiting part in recent years. Whether it’s the interactive queue at the Haunted Mansion, or play areas that are built into the lines for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh or Dumbo the Flying Elephant, more and more we’re seeing that there’s more to do than just stand.

The new Test Track is no exception, and the interactivity lasts throughout the attraction. As part of the wait process for an actual vehicle, riders will design a virtual car that gets rated on capability, efficiency, responsiveness and power. Riders can pick everything from the car’s sleek profile, to its wheels and accessories. The best part: You get to see how your design performs on the track.

Ride Lighting & Effects

That brings us to the ride itself. You’ll be blown away that you’re experiencing the same attraction. One of the best changes is the overall lighting inside the attraction.

It’s darker, but with bright neon features and sets surrounding you. (Think “Tron.”) The lighting makes a great difference in the visibility of the mechanics that power the ride. You’ll feel now like you’re less on a track, and more on a road. It’s less predictable.

Longtime Test Track fans will remember the ABS sequence in the past version. Thanks to the new theming inside, I found myself almost surprised on that same stretch of track inside the post-refresh version.

The stories-tall projections inside the ride will wow you as well. And some of the other effects, like neon trees that seemingly construct themselves from nowhere, are also welcome additions.

What’s Old is New

If you’ve been on Test Track before, keep an eye out for some of the old favorites. There’s definitely several nice tributes to the old ride, but with some nice updates.

We won’t give all of them away, but just be prepared. You will need to swerve to avoid an certain oncoming driver.

And, speaking of old favorites, your spin around the track outside still does reach top speeds of up to 65 mph, making this the fastest Disney attraction around.

After the Ride

Remember that car you created in the beginning? There are more chances to check it out and take it for a spin even after you step out of your ride vehicle.

You can create a TV commercial featuring your newly created ride, pose with your virtual car and even compare its performance with other vehicles.
